It’s been almost a month. I just finished photos organized from my Activate residency
@boscenterforarts .
I want to take a moment to reflect on it, talk about the process and thank you to my team and BCA’s support.

The piece is called Journey to Home.
Most of my life, I’ve been moving around for different reasons, school, work, family. Most of the time, I’ve been running away from home.
Living in Boston for 4 days, I do feel a sense of support and love from my community. I came here for school, after my school finished, most of my friends left. I stayed but felt lost. Also facing the pressure about visa and work. I started to thinking about home’s meaning to me, I started want a “home”, or started want to build a “home”. I stayed close to my community, tried to be supportive… This is where this project originated.
The beautiful of this installation and event is that I want to engage with Boston community and beyond. See other’s feeling about home. Through an open call and direct animation workshop, I invite people to participate and reflect on home. Through many voice, I see something in common: home is not a physical location, but a feeling, a connection, memories and culture. I really value that.
Reading some of your reflection make me very touching. And all those feelings you had, I want to say you are not alone.
